  1. Pawel bought some flatwounds off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  2. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Bought these after reading about them on Talkbass. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]However, it seems they have changed the formula/supplier as these are basically re-badged D’addario Chromes.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Blues silks just like D’ads, same feel, same look and same lively/more modern sound.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]A bit TOO lively for more as im more into the GHS type thud. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]These are very much ringy with a matching E string to boot.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]These have been fitted on my P bass for literally 5mins.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Uncut (as per instructions on the box) so plenty of windings. 45-105 gauge[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]£20 delivered to your UK address.[/color][/size][/font]
  3. Another hassle free transaction with Davie. Nae danger here, one of the good guys
  4. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Clearing out my old flats. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]All used and cut for Precision Bass headstock and prices include UK P&P[/color][/size][/font] [b][u][font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]2 x Elites Detroit Flats – 45-105. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]£10 each[/color][/size][/font][/u][/b] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Had a few months use of my P basses so nicely broken in a thumpy. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Very much an old school flat with good thump and short decay.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Silks are slightly worn but strings in good condition.[/color][/size][/font] [s][b][u][font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Olympia Flats – 45-100. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]£10[/color][/size][/font][/u][/b] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Had around 30 mins use on my P bass. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Silks still in great condition and not yet fully broken in so still a lot of top end at the mo.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Again I would imaging these will settle into an old school type flat.[/color][/size][/font][/s] [s][b][u][font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]La Bella 760FL - £15[/color][/size][/font][/u][/b] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Bought used on here and literally had 5 mins on my P, bit too loose for me. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Still very much in the ‘new’ stage of their sound and not quite at their thumpiest so still plenty of breaking in to be done.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Silks in good condition[/color][/size][/font][/s] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Would take a set of GHS Precision Flats in 45-105 in part ex/swap[/color][/size][/font]
  5. 2 x sets of Ken Smith Slick Rounds (half/ground wounds) 1 is brand new unopened and the other set has had around 20mins use on my P bass. Tone is nice a deep as you would expect from a full on flat but there is still plenty of overtones and sustain like a round wound. Both are 106-43 gauge £10 for the used set £20 for the new set Above price includes delivery in UK
  6. Cool, glad it got sorted and is back to pumping out that lovely valve tone! Did the tech say what the fault was?
  7. Bought some flats off Chris in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  8. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]I read that a lot whilst doing my research before buying but I can honestly say ive never wanted for power or more headroom. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Im up against a rock drummer, a Vox AC30 and a Fender Twin and easily compete with room to spare.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]One thing I read (whether its right or wrong) if that these particular amps really do need balanced driver valves (the 12AX7 and 12AU7) before the 6L6’s so first thing I did was this and it did seem to ‘wake the amp up’ somewhat. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]If anything it might even be TOO powerful for me as im not able to crank it to the valve saturation point.[/color][/size][/font] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Think im gonna tinker with my DHA Drive Pedal and see if I can get some grit there – though that will leave me short of a nice OD pedal for Chelsea Dagger [/font][font=Wingdings][font=Wingdings]J[/font][/font][/color][/size]
  9. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Need a bit of help here possible with amp settings or maybe even valve selection.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]My current rig/set up is – Pbass with Elites flatwounds into an Ampeg V4BH into an Ampeg 410he. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Great beefy sound but just lacking a little grind/drive.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Initially I thought it was maybe down to strings – the Elites are very much an old school type flat with a tubby and thumpy sound.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I switched to some Elites Groundwounds which certainly brought more grind but also less thump and more tension.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Ive tried messing around with having the amps volume on max and setting the level using the gain and also vice versa. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Ive put some Chinese 12AX7’s in the pre to try and get a bit more breakup but nothing seems to be working.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I just cant seem to get the grind and drive I want – the kind of open, woody tone with a hint of break up that was always associated with p bass through an ampeg valve amp.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Amp settings are Bass at Noon, Treble at 11 oclock, Mid at 3 oclock with Mid selector on 3. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Finally, I recently I bought a DHA Bass Drive to use on Chelsea Dagger (which it does very well) and im wondering if I should look to use this as an ‘always-on’ type pre-amp pedal (with a less extreme setting than Chelsea Dagger).[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Any help here much appreciated. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I just want to open the sound up a little and add that bit of hair to it.[/color][/size][/font]
  10. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]EHX Big Bass Muff – Good cosmetic and working condition but has Velcro on bottom. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]No box but will be packaged securely for shipping.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]£45 delivered within UK or would consider trade for similar valued chorus pedal[/color][/size][/font]
  11. Elites flatwounds on everything for me, just feel right and sound good. 99% of my basses are P Basses tho
  12. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Did a bass trade with Dunc in an effortlessly smooth transaction. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Had a good chin wag on all things bass and ive now got myself another P.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Nae danger here[/color][/size][/font]
  13. I loved my old Spyder 330 head, cracking amp. I like their amps but never got on with their cabs. Most recently tried a CL cab which is supposedly their top line - very underwhelmed
  14. An SVT through an 8x10 (preferably with a flats loaded P Bass) is something everyone should experience before they die
  15. If i can shift my bitsa jazz id be very tempted by this! Local too! Damn gas 😡
  16. .[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Ive been after a reasonably close bass sound to the tone Baz Fratelli gets on Chelsea Dagger for a while and been through numerous fuzz/distortion/overdrive pedals and all have failed.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]As per the link its fuzzy but still thumpy and reasonably tight. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I certainly think in the studio they have taken a clean feed and a fuzzy feed and dubbed them on the album track so I know im not going to get the EXACT tone but im looking to get as close as poss.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Ive tried an old Bubble Font Muff that got close-ish but it lacked the thump/bass. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]The Big Bass Muff isn’t bright enough, an Ibanez PD7 was too sludgey, a Boss BD2 was awesome but again lacked the thump. I play through an Ampeg valve amp so also tried an LPB1 boost pedal to try and overdrive the amp but it wasn’t fuzzy enough (awesome valvey beef tho!).[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I’m playing a P bass into an always-on DHA Bass Drive to beef up my sound then into the Ampeg V4BH into an Ampeg 410he. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I get that my flatwounds wont help but I think that’s what Baz Fratelli uses anyway hence the underlying thump to the sound.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [url="https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjt5uPy9JbSAhUKOsAKHcQnAdsQtwIIITAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Df1x1ck2__IY&usg=AFQjCNFkLvs5sgJbtE8_BZgfbuHLy_rN7A&bvm=bv.147448319,d.ZGg"][font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#0000ff"]https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjt5uPy9JbSAhUKOsAKHcQnAdsQtwIIITAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Df1x1ck2__IY&usg=AFQjCNFkLvs5sgJbtE8_BZgfbuHLy_rN7A&bvm=bv.147448319,d.ZGg[/color][/size][/font][/url] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Any help with this is muchly appreciated as its driving me round the bend![/color][/size][/font]
  17. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Right, this is back up for sales but as spares/repair.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Effectively this was serviced back in June 2016 by Mike Powell of MPAV Services in Bolton. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]The service upgraded the amp to 200-2 specs and included a full new set of JJ KT88’s.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I have the schematics from Yorkville that fully detail the 200-2 mod and can supply these.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The amp went on to run flawlessly until several weeks ago. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I sold the amp on here in full working order, had a PM off the buyer saying they were pleased with the amp and I thought that was that, another good transaction on Basschat.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]However, 2 weeks later the buyer got in contact to say the amp was humming, there were crackles and pops and they wanted their money back![/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Since then the amp has been sat here. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I have a lovely Ampeg V4B that is my main amp and I just don’t have the time or inclination to take it to the fixers and incure a bench/repair fee.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]As such the amp is sold as is, spares or repair. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Im after £200 ono for it.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Not a clue what has gone wrong with it so it will need to go to a good repair tech or someone more tech savvy than myself.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Would consider swap/trade for a 90s bubble font muff pedal[/color][/size][/font]
